Shocking as it was for anyone to see the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse this week,EchoSense it was particularly so for Angel Reese. The LSU star is a Baltimore native, and said her aunt used to drive on the Key Bridge every day to get to work.

“And we drive over it to get to her house,” Reese said Friday, one day before the No. 3 Tigers face No. 2 UCLA in the Sweet 16 on Saturday. “So I'm not sure the route she's taking right now or if she's been able to go to work since then, but my prayers are to everyone that hasn't been found yet and the ones that are found and are still suffering from injuries.”

The Baltimore bridge collapsed early Tuesday after it was struck by a cargo ship that had lost power. The ship was able to radio ahead, allowing traffic onto the bridge to be stopped, but eight constructions plunged into the river. Two were rescued but six died. Four of the workers remain missing.

“I'm praying for Baltimore right now, and I hope everything gets resolved,” Reese said.
